Tastes

I was lucky enough to snag this bottle for only 109 USD. This is an excellent rye. Reminds me of Michters 10yr rye but less sweet and with more spice notes coming through.

First time trying any William Heavenhill and was surprised how bad I thought it was. Over oaked and overly spicy. Not a lot of flavor coming through besides oak and cinnamon spice. Definitely would not buy a bottle at retail.

The nose is not great. It has a few decent notes but overshadowed by pungent off putting notes. The taste is better than the smell, however not that great either. The initial taste is sweet but then those off putting notes come in and it isn’t pleasant. Finish short and not very tasty. Overall it’s weird whiskey with very little to enjoy. Hard pass.
